Year 12 German students had a festive lesson today with Herr Foakes and German teaching assistant, Britta, and heard all about German traditions and how those traditions have influenced how we celebrate Christmas in our country.

The students were taught to follow an old German recipe for cinnamon star biscuits called Zimtsterne and the food technology labs were filled with the yummy aroma of sweet cookies baking.

Christmas German songs were playing whilst the biscuits were baking and everyone agreed it was a fun and festive way to learn how our German neighbours celebrate the season.

Miss Hillan got to sample to delicious delights and said they were wonderful.
